So we should provide old internet.  "Internet Classic".  

Sounds good.

Bingo!  When I asked them about this at the NTIA Memphis meeting, they
acknowledged that this is old data.

Shouldn't WISPA get involved here?

I have written my response to them.

Maybe 5 years ago.  Not now.  How old is this info they are getting????  Not
a surprise though.

Hmm, so I guess my 10Mbps down and 8mbps up wireless links (yes, to
customers) don't count????  

My guess, though, is that they're pulling this data from the 477 and making
assumptions based on that.  Most of our customers are 1.5Mbps or less
customers so looking at the "raw" 477 data then yes, it would appear that we
may not be doing much more than the 1.5meg.  

Interesting...

This really ticks me off:

 

"Wireless broadband Internet access services offered over fixed networks
allow consumers to access the Internet from a fixed point while stationary

 and often require a direct line-of-sight between the wireless transmitter
and receiver. These services have been offered using both licensed spectrum 

and unlicensed devices. For example, thousands of small Wireless Internet
Services Providers (WISPs) provide such wireless broadband at speeds of 

around one Mbps using unlicensed devices, often in rural areas not served by
cable or wireline broadband networks."

I talked to them at the NTIA workshop in Memphis about this, but they are
still defaming our industry.

I have emailed them at the broadband.gov site and think it is a good idea
that they hear from more of us.

 

Thanks!
